ON THE COVER Grundtvigs Church by Kim Høltermand

May 2009 • N°3 VOL.2

Finally! A new issue of Iniciativa Colectiva after a long and restful break. I had been immersed in a lot of personal things that led me away from the magazine, but it was never my intention to leave it forever. Many people approached me and asked me what happened with it and sincerely, I just had to have a break from so much work and take some personal time for myself. I publish this magazine out of the love I have for art and design and so this is why it's back again and believe me, if it weren't for the passion I have for it, it could have gone into oblivion. But fear not! Iniciativa Colectiva is here to stay and as long as I can produce it, I will be bringing you the best of the best in the Visual Communications Field. Thank you for following. It is for you that this is made. With Love. To Life and Love. Nicole Andujar Editor-in-Chief

ANDREW HOLDER * USA MAGIK7 INTERVIEW 1. What type of medium do you work with and explain how you use it? (Paint, design, photography, collage) The majority of my personal work is done by screenprinting. I use a lot of overlapping of colors to get as much out of each screen as possible. I work with acrylic a lot as well but because of the graphic nature of my pieces they can become tedious. Screenprinting allows me to get clean lines and big flat shapes of color without having to fuss over it. 2. What was your main interest in producing this artwork, or is there a statement you wanted to convey? Nature seems to be a reoccurring theme in my work. This started when I was in school and felt more detached from the outdoors than I had ever been in my life.Everything was seen through a window and even then it usually had a sprinkler system. Very recently though, I have been taking more from past experiences which has been kind of refreshing. 3. Tell us about your creative process, do you have any rituals, routines you follow? How does your artwork come together? (Do you use found objects, image banks, etc) Everything starts out as multiple thumbnail sketches of an idea. The idea either being my own or from a client. After settling on a basic design it becomes almost like a puzzle. I spend the majority of the time at this stage, working out scale, texture, balance etc. I pretty much know what a piece is going to look like before I even put any paint or ink down.

4. How did you get started with your artistic career? I was lucky enough to be hired right out of school for a couple illustration jobs which opened up a lot of doors for me. 5. What would you say is one of your greatest accomplishments? I think the thing I am most proud of is the fact that I am able to create for a living. That might not sound like a big deal but I feel very fortunate to make a career out of being an artist. 6. Where does your inspiration come from? Or is there any particular movement, artwork or artist you find yourself influenced by? My inspiration comes from everywhere. Everyday life. As far as my style goes it has been a bit of creative progression that is hard for me to nail down to a particular source. Some people that I admire and are probably influenced by in some way are David Weidman, the Stenberg brothers, Charley Harper and Geoff Mcfettridge to name a few. 7. How do you see your artwork evolving from now? I am hoping to do some larger pieces in the near future. I just need more space in order to make them. As far as content goes i am not sure. I try to let change happen organically and not force it. Thanks,

KIM HØLTERMAND * DENMARK MAGIK7 INTERVIEW 1. What type of medium do you work with and explain how you use it? (Paint, design, photography, collage) .I work with photography - mainly in the field of architecture. I portray desolate cityscapes empty of humans and create a world that is very clinical and often eerie and otherworldly. 2. What was your main interest in producing this artwork, or is there a statement you wanted to convey? In all my work I try to create the feeling of loneliness or solitude. A very strong feeling. And I try to isolate the building which is in the picture by almost never picturing people. That contemplates the building even more. 3. Tell us about your creative process, do you have any rituals, routines you follow? How does your artwork come together? (Do you use found objects, image banks, etc) I use a very strict linear grid (in my mind) which I use as a guideline to find new angles when photographing architecture. I often use music as an inspiration too - not many know people know this but listening to artists such as Sigur Rós, Helios, Unkle, M83 and many more has been a huge source of inspiration to many of my series. 4. How did you get started with your artistic career? I started making professional photography in 2007 - creating my Behance.net profile in 2007 really got my name out among people and has helped me build my reputation all over the world as a skilled photographer.

IC72

5. What would you say is one of your greatest accomplishments? That's a hard one. I think being featured at almost every creative blog in the world and being featured in numerous magazines is something that I think are huge accomplishments. And I get surprised every day what my talent is giving me fan mail, making interviews and getting new exiting assignments from clients all over the world. And getting out to the public - giving them hauntingly beautiful imagery, and making them "feel" my images. 6. Where does your inspiration come from? Or is there any particular movement, artwork or artist you find yourself influenced by? I get my inspiration from a lot of places - music, paintings, photography, literature - the world that surrounds me. 7. How do you see your artwork evolving from now? I think that the future will bring me to new exiting places which will help me create even more absorbing imagery for everyone to enjoy. Cheers,
